VTP excludes for CFS2

SOH-CM-2025
Currently doing a revamp of the Carolines Islands for CFS 2

Works great in a "Rhumba World" install, but trying to improve it's usefulness by excluding the stock VTPs using EXCL8 v2, following a suggestion from Jean Bomber.

I created excludes for layers 8, 16 & 32.

The excludes work great, removing the coastlines, but the stock rivers on large islands like Ponape remain:isadizzy:

Any suggestions? Is it as simple as creating excludes for all the VTP layers (8 to 32)?
 
OK, I think I got it to work:

I had some old layer notes about earlier FS terrain

Dan Hamblin layer notes for airports
Layer Number What is it for?
4 Ground, seed
8 Ground Polygons
12 Rivers
16 Roads
20 Lines, Taxiways
24 Runways and Taxiways
28 Mountains

so I ran excl8 again, choosing to exclude all the programme defaults (layers 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), plus every +4 after (layers 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 & 32). That seems to have worked.

Now, on to relocating/ replacing some airbases ...
